Parrilla closed not too long ago, but already there’s a taker for the corner of Polk and Washington — and its full liquor license.

And as it turns out, it’s someone pretty familiar with the neighborhood.

The rumors have been floating around for a few weeks, and based on public record building permits issued on Jan. 18, the new lessee at 1760 Polk is indeed none other Giancarlo Paterlini, co-owner of the nearby 22-year-old Acquerello.

As noted earlier this week, also involved in the project is Wilfred Jaeger, a local wine collector (“one of the world’s greatest wine collectors” according to some) who is also an investor in Michael Mina’s RN74. Jaeger notes that Gianpaolo Paterlini, son of Giancarlo Paterlini and the restaurant’s current wine director, is also playing a prominent role in the project.

Stay tuned for further details.

Update, 2/6: According to a press release, it’s going to be named 1760, and the chef will be USC graduate Adam Tortosa.
